Is option "ShenandoahAllocationThreshold" still experimental in OpenJDK15 ?

It's perfectly fine by me; as I mentioned previously, I've been using 
these options (with the experimental flag) since 13 and they've served 
me very well so far, so I doesn't bother me that some of them are still 
marked as experimental.

It did, however, come as a surprise (because I wrongly assumed that 
because UseShenandoahGC itself no longer required the flag, that would 
be true for all of the existing flags) and since I saw nothing specific 
about that particular option on the wiki page, I suspected it might be 
unintentional.

Anyway, thanks for clearing that out.
